Final Notice

If you've yet to see the AIDS-themed musical Rent on Broadway, you'd better hurry, because after nearly 12 years on the Great White Way, the Pulitzer- and Tony-winning production's final performance is slated for June 1. Coproducer Jeffrey Seller cited dwindling ticket sales as one of the reasons for shuttering the rock interpretation of the classic Puccini opera La Boh'me. Among Rent's main characters are several who are fighting AIDS, including two gay men and two heterosexual injection-drug users, and its songs celebrate HIVers 'living with, not dying from, disease.'
